I used the

and 5 of the 8 DC on the last row. See the picture on where to join each flower.

Assemble as
follows

Row 1:8 full flowers

Row 2:Half flower, 7 full flowers, half
flower.Note: I added the full 7 flowers first, then went
back and added the half flower on each end with the join as you go method into
the space. See the picture for where to
start your first full flower on the 2nd row. It will not be directly under the 1st
flower.You will be joining the flowers
on the bottom of the 1st row and on the sides of the 2nd
row as you go.

Row 3:2 full flowers on each side

Row 4:1 half flower and 1 full flower on each
side.See row 2 for the order in which
they were added.

I am so happy to have found your blog. I pinned your curtain last week and couldn't stop thinking about it. It is exactly the shape that I need and want for my living room. Your blog and your work is awesome. Thank you so much for the patterns!

Wow is all I can say, and a gasp. I had been looking for a crochet curtain pattern for the past few months. I was following bobwilson123 on FB and someone posted for a crochet curtain pattern and someone posted a link leading to you. My search is no over, I can create a kitchen curtain for me and my little daughters room. THANK YOU for sharing and having so much talent to create this. My only question is.. What is the width of the window your displaying it on in the photo? Mine is 27 or 32 across, im sure it wont be hard to adjust the pattern if it needs to be larger.

Working on a runner for my kitchen table in your pattern!! I love it!! Quick question for you tho, did you just slip stitch to its neighbor between the 8 dc? So 4 dc, sl st then 4 more dc? Have never done a project that required join as you go, so just trying to grasp the concept!! :)

To join the flower motifs together you could make a ch 1, then sl st in the next flower, ch 1 and then make the 4 dc on the current flower you're working on. This would make the curtain a little bit wider and a little bit longer, but might be a good idea if your window is slightly wider/longer than Robin's window of 42".

Sorry but I don have the wrappers on the yarn so I cant tell you the colors or how many I used. You might be able to tell by looking at the picture. I used shades of purple, green, aqua and orange in cotton yarn.

This is beautiful. I have a client that wants one of these... do you take custom orders? I just do not have the time right now. If you are interested please email me at cre8tion@ymail.com Thank you, Lorene

Does the type of yarn matter I made a flower using red heart and mine came out smaller then it should have if I'm using red heart yarn should I try a bigger hook to get the size flower as yours in the picture. What do your flowers measure?? I love these

Cindy I think the cotton yarn is thicker and probably will make a bigger flower. Yes you can use a bigger hook but it may make the flower to loose and floppy when it hangs. The cotton yarn is stiffer. I would just go with the smaller flowers. I really don't think the size will matter much since its not a wearable item although you may need to make more. My flowers are around 7" but the valance has been hanging for a long time so Im sure it has stretched. Hope this helps you.

I just love, love all your patterns. I'm having a hard time getting to any of the patterns though. When I click on pattern here or pictures here it takes me to a page full of never ending pictures. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an easier way to access your patterns? Thank you.Sandrasandysise1@bellsouth.net

None of the pictures are links so clicking on them wont get you anywhere but to the slideshow. No one else has reported this problem. Let me know what link specifically doesn't work and I will look into it. All the links worked when I made the post, but that was a year ago and things may have changed.

Hiya, this is lovely, can i ask please, Roughly how many balls of yarn did you use for this and what were the window measurement? Someone has asked me if i can make one for them and i need to let her know how much yarn she needs for it. Thanks. x

You would start with the magic loop, ch 3, 6 dc in loop, turn your work, ch 1 and FO if you're changing colors; otherwise, ch 3 or make the beg dc, and proceed as the patt, but turning each row. So you'll end up with six petals. You can look at the picture to help figure this out. Hope this helps.

I love this! I have added a link to your page at the end of my post today, along with clear credit to you and the blog. Hope that works for you. This curtain is now on my fairly long 'to-do' list. But I needed another project . . . I didn't post any photos, but when I get to making mine, I will post my own pictures and give you credit again. Thanks so much. A friend shared the link on facebook and I thought it was too good not to share both there and on the blog. ~ Linne

I love this curtain! I have started on it already with what cotton yarns I had on hand, will add more if I need too.Thank you for your time making it and for the pattern. I will link you to a pic when I get mine done.

How wide was the window with the very colorful valance? I just started on my first flower...it's going to take a while to complete this project. And since I had no scraps, I will have to buy all the yarn...but so worth it! Walmart had all the colors except the pretty green!!

Love love love this, Robin! I'd been trying to come up with something similar, in my brain at least. ;). Tell me please, are these North American or UK crochet terms? And thanks so much for sharing your fine work.

Hello there! I just finished this pattern and I love it! Wish I could keep if for myself! Thought you would enjoy some of the pictures that I have taken. Here is a link to the picture! https://www.facebook.com/BabysInspiration/photos/a.497824520269739.149870.234189369966590/786261268092728/?type=1&theater

I'm wondering if you starched the final product, or did anything to ensure it hangs nice and smooth. I'm making two of these valances for my guest room right now - I modified the size a bit as my windows are not as wide - and I think they will be a nice pop of color in the room! Thanks :)

Hi Robin! I had a friend order this from me. I am going to try to replicate the colors you used because she is floored by it. She absolutely loves the color choice! I will post pictures once completed! I am excited to make one!

Thanks for sharing this lovely pattern, I knit more than crochet but I will add this to my to-do list, and if I live long enough I will make it. My daughter wants me to stop everything and make some for her right now.

THANK YOU FOR HAVEING THIS WONDERFUL PAGE! I DEFINATELY LIKE TO SHARE THIS WITH MY OLDER DAUGHTER AS WE BOTH CROCHET, BEGGINERS, BUT THIS DOSEN'T LOOK TO DIFFICULT. IT WOULD DEFINATELY BRIGHTEN A LOT OF WINDOWS IN MY HOUSE AND FUN AT THE SAME TIME! WHAT A GREAT IDEA! I THANK YOU AGAIN! TAMMY MICHAEL

Robin, I am unable to work with my hands because of neuropathy. Would you ever make the beautiful multicolored curtain and sell it? Please contact me at sdm1962@yahoo.com. I would really appreciate it. Thank you, sandy

I love this pattern and I am working on it now. I just have a question on the instructions for row 5. Could you please tell me the total 8 DC sets there should be for a total at the end of that Row? Thanks

Please can someone tell me.. is there a you tube video on how to make this. I would be able to learn alot easier if I had the video to watch and work along with. I am really excited about making this too so I thought I would ask.

This is so gorgeous! A friend of mine contacted me today to make this for her. I have no cotton yarn on hand but I wanted to at least try a flower so I used 100% acrylic (I love this yarn). How do you think it would hold up? Do you think there would be too much stretch to it? Also, when using the cotton, have you had any issues with it shrinking or running when washed? Thanks!!!

Hi Robin! I absolutely love this valance! I'm going to try to make it after I finish a few things I'm working on now. I can't wait! Thank you so much for the pattern. I will post pics! I hope I can also find the video!

Hi Robin,This is my first time writing to you. Thank you so much for posting this wonderful pattern. I have made one flower in a varigated color cotton yarn. The colors change from maroon, to beige, to tan, to pink. I thought this would be good because one of the walls in our living room is maroon and the Bali material shades are also maroon. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. I know the flowers show up much better with changing the yarn colors but thought it would work good too. I intent to also do this pattern in my kitchen using bright colors to really accent the room. Thank you in advance for all the time you spend to help.

For some weird reason, probably me lol, I'm not seeing my comments on making this gorgeous valance for our kitchen window. Don't want to double post, so I'll wait to see if it's here later. Do you have an insta gram account? I did give you credit for beautiful pattern, and posted link to your blog there. Hope that's OK with you. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful pattern! ♡♡♡

I really love this project. However, I too have had trouble joining flowers. Can you talk the video lady into showing how to to thus. I did a lot of flowers and now am having to tear out last row in order to join them as I went. Ugh. Thanks again!

Sorry there is no tutorial for putting this together. Its the "join as you go" method. There are lots of tutorials if you Google that. My flowers are joined in the center of the petal. Look at the picture for placement.
